Per Passerby6497’s comment above:

The AI Mode pill in the Chrome 147 omnibox is a cloud-backed Search Generative Experience surface - every query the user types into it is sent over the network to Google’s servers for processing by Google’s hosted models. The on-device Nano model is not invoked by the AI Mode UI flow at all. They are entirely separate code paths - the most visible AI affordance in the browser does not use the local model the user has been silently given, and the features that do use the local model (Help-Me-Write in <textarea>, tab-group AI suggestions, smart paste, page summary) are buried in textarea-context menus and tab-group right-click menus that the average user will discover, on average, never.

What a double kick to the dick. First, they silently download 4gb to your disk, and they still fucking send your shit to their cloud AI.

It’s a question. It’s just confusingly stated. This may be because English isn’t their first language.

You have the ability to turn on airplane mode or do not disturb, yes?

The bookmark doesn’t remind me to go back to it . The book mark system is a sink hole where links go to never be seen again.

You know, even if there’s backlash, all that will happen is they’ll backtrack temporarily until the heat dies down. Then they’ll go ahead and implement this anyway.

Because it’s renting. From every company that can get exclusivity to something you want to rent.

It’s wasn’t an indictment on you or anything. I tried to click what I thought was a link, figured there was a mistake and then went looking for the actual article to get some context.

Since it was a 404 article I read and I know they do paywalls (and I sub to them so I don’t get the paywalls) I didn’t want to share that link because people might not be able to view it.

I had to Google the article and I believe it may be paywalled. I sub to 404 media so I am not restricted from seeing it.

This is stupid. He shouldn’t be charged unless they can prove that he destroyed evidence. If it was evidence, what was it?

Did they mistakenly erase the phone trying to unlock it, or did it erase itself when he didn’t log in for a certain period of time? Like obviously if he was in custody, he either knew he was going to be detained and erased it beforehand (unlikely) or they messed up and ran afoul of good tech privacy practices and are big mad about it.
